There are days when sorrow seems never-ending
|
|
Like the countless roads upon which I've driven
|
|
The price of attachment in pursuit of dreams
|
|
That I so often can't seem to remember
|
|
Yet there are days when beauty cannot be contained
|
|
It even crawls out from under ordinary things
|
|
|
|
A foreigner, no place to go
|
|
Holding on, making the most
|
|
Of what little time I have
|
|
|
|
All the wasted words I said
|
|
In all the cities that I left
|
|
The last act of our precious play
|
|
Must not close with regret
|
|
|
|
I will not leave wishing I had done things differently
|
|
|
|
The moments I treasure are seldom the ones
|
|
That I planned for
|
|
And if I knew where pain hid I might still let it go
|
|
So when the audience has run toward the latest drift
|
|
It will be my time to face the life that I have set
|
|
|
|
A foreigner in my own home
|
|
Holding on, no place to go
|
|
|
|
All the wasted words I said
|
|
In all the cities that I left
|
|
The last act of our precious play
|
|
Must not close with regret (regret)
|
|
All the wasted words
|
|
|
|
Some days the line between peace
|
|
And pain seems more like a blur
|
|
But I know with certainty
|
|
I can't leave wishing, I cannot leave
|
|
I can't leave wishing I'd done things differently
|
|
|
|
All the wasted words I said
|
|
In all the cities that I left
|
|
The last act of our precious play
|
|
Must not close with regret (regret)
|
|
All the wasted words
|
|
|
